Golf : British Open 2008 without Tiger
For the first time since the 1994, Tiger Woods will not be present at the British Open. Who will step into the spotlight in his absence?
Who will win the 2008 British Open ?
Ernie Els, Phil Mikelson, Sergio Garcia, Jim Furyk or anyone else ?
The course : Royal Birkdale
The Open comes to Royal Birkdale for the ninth time this July, and competitors will find a course that is 155 yards longer than the challenge presented to them in 1998, the last time the event was played here. The extra length is relatively inconsequential, however, compared to the tightened bunkering, newly-introduced mounds and, in the case of some holes, altered playing lines. The philosophy of the changes – which affect 16 of the 18 holes – is to reward strategic play and accurate shotmaking.
